The Ever-So-Loyal Trophy.... Alan Curtis, Swansea City FC

In an age when football clearly lacks many of the values it used to hold dear, Alan Curtis and Swansea have shown there are still principled figures in the game.

After a fine playing career, so much of it spent at the club, Curtis has been looking after the Swans since hanging up his boots as part of the back-room ‘engine house’ while the club deserve huge credit for the way they have cherished one of their finest.

Now he has stepped up to the plate in the absence of a manager to hold the fort with grit and dignity.

A football figure about whom there is so much to admire.

The Thanks For The Last 24 Years Gold Watch.... Admiral's Henry Engelhardt

Along with David Stevens and a small start-up team, Chicago-born Henry established Admiral in 1991 and two years later started selling car insurance over the phone in Cardiff.

And what a 24 years it has been with Admiral today being Wales’ only FTSE 100 company with a global workforce of 8,000 and more than 5,000 employees in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport.

Henry will stand down as chief executive next spring and will leave the £2bn turnover business in great shape and well placed for further expansion in the UK and overseas, particularly in the US.

Best Undressed Man... Luke Evans

The Aberbargoed-born Hobbit star left little to his fans’ imagination in September when he was photographed on a beach in Mykonos in a pair of barely-there swimming trunks.

It was good to see, in an age where many celebrities are obsessed with what designer togs they’re snapped wearing, here was one perfectly content to let it all hang out, so to speak.

Storyteller Of The Year... Brian Blessed

Flash Gordon star Blessed – whose mum came from Llandysul – revealed in October that he had, as a younger man, bitten through the umbilical cord of a new born baby in a public park.

The 78-year-old larger-than-life thesp admitted that he’d been jogging in London in 1963 when he’d happened across a woman giving birth, and, having assisted with the delivery, then snipped the crying infant’s umbilical with his teeth.

Most Mischievous Partner... Alice Evans

There were no doubt many Welshman out there jumping up and down in front of the TV wearing just their boxers when Wales beat England at Twickenham during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

But Ioan Gruffudd’s joy was showcased to the nation when his actress wife recorded him and then shared the footage on Twitter.

The question is, how will he be getting his own back on the mum-of-two?

The Host With The Most... Matthew Rhys

When most people are hosting folk from overseas, they might put them up for a few nights in the spare room and then take them to a few visitor attractions.

But Matthew Rhys went that extra mile when members of the Hollywood Foreign Press visited Wales as part of The Bastard Executioner publicity trail.

Not only did he take them along to St Fagans: National History Museum, he actually donned a hard hat and gave them an exclusive peek at the latest building work at the site – the reconstruction of a Prince’s Medieval Hall.

And rather than offer them a sarnie in the cafe, he arranged for them to dine on pig’s trotters and the like during a proper medieval-style banquet.

Twitter User Of The Year... Katherine Jenkins

It seems that no one picks up the phone any more to tell their family and friends that they are expecting to hear the patter of tiny feet soon – instead they announce it in a lavish way on social media.

Katherine Jenkins was among those in 2015 announcing a pregnancy and she certainly did it in style, posting a black and white wedding photo of herself and her new hubby Andrew Levitas and a pair of pink ballet pumps and the words: “Couldn’t be more excited to meet our little girl! #MummyToBe #DaddyToBe #ArtProject #Collaboration #Family @andrewlevitas”
